On Wednesday, a day after the clip aired, Alberta's NDP government passed Bill 24 — legislation that specifically prohibits schools from notifying parents if their child joins a GSA, except in special circumstances.

The government says the bill closes loopholes some schools have been using to delay or deny students who try to set up peer support clubs.

Kenney denies wanting to 'out' students

"Now, you may ask, 'why would anyone need legislation like that?'" Mercer said. "I'll tell you why. You remember Jason Kenney? He was banging around Ottawa for decades. Well, now he's back."

In March, Kenney denied accusations from advocates and the NDP saying he wanted schools to out students.

"I trust teachers, principals and school counsellors to exercise their judgement about such matters, and that there should be a presumption that most parents are loving and caring, seeking only what is best for their children."
